    well it's the offseason and little things like this can be brought up in here so I decided i'd have at it :D .

    obviously if you read the garm on any consistent basis you know that people are occasionally bringing up how they love the throwbacks, or when are the rockets gonna have the "hardwood classics" night so they can wear their throwbacks. heck, I even know tons of fans that love the throwbacks that don't know about CF at all.

    so i'm just testing the waters to see if anyone wants to discuss some ideas on maybe trying to get a response from some higher ups in the rockets organization about putting this in their plans, whether it be by something as simple as an online petition, or something different we discuss on here.

    It could work, current uniforms are ugly, but not as hideous as those pajama unis of a few years ago....Contact the Marketing department and see what they say

    i wouldnt want that logo though or that same exact identical jersey style, i'd prefer if it had some minor tweaks to make it look more modern

    It would be great to bring them back but it just won't happen. it would be awesome if they decided to wear them throughout the playoffs next year :)

    Btw, didn't an "insider" say at the beginning of the season that we would have new alternates for the 09-10 season?

    Marketers like themes... sell it like this...

    new theme of the season... Clutch City returns.

    bring back the logo, unis and theme song, but modernize it to please both sides.

    It can be done. And even bang out the new campaign to match the theme.

    yeah, I kinda thought that would go without saying. they should definitely modernize them just like many other teams have (lakers, celtics, pistons)

    i think that's just because yao is pulling the neckline down by resting his arms on his jersey...plus Tmac has an undershirt or something, makes him look more covered up at the neck/shoulders.

    They wore them once during a Pistons game this season or last season and they looked great.

    Someone high up on this forum (Clutch, Jeff, DD, etc.) should start an online and written petition. If we got a crapload of signatures, I don't see how the Rockets marketing department would ignore it. Those jerseys would sell much better, and bring back the nostalgia from the championship years. Houston has to have that identity back.

    Whatever changes are made you have to keep the new logo. I just can't imagine the Rockets getting rid of it right now...

    I remember somebody had posted that same picture of T-Mac, but just changed the colors to black with red and white trim...which was imo...perfect.
